Librarian Page
Mrs. Staff
This site was created for 4th grade students at Penn Yan Elementary School in Penn Yan, NY, to be used as a reliable site when completing their Social Studies Unit on NY State Explorers. As stated on The Task page, this Web Quest was designed to teach students
that more than one type of resource should be used when performing research, how to complete a web search, how to locate important information to their topic, how to integrate images, pictures and maps into text, and how to cite various resources. All of these information skills are important for our students in the 21st Century, needed not only to excel in their schoolwork, but to succeed in all aspects of their lives.
To give you a little information on my background, I am an elementary librarian with 10 years of experience working with students in grades Kindergarten through 5th. I have taken part in all forms of teaching, from lead teaching to collaborative teaching to pull out groups, teaching all subjects in elementary education. I received my undergraduate degree from State University of New York at Oswego, and my masters degree from Mansfield University of Pennsylvania. Hopefully you have learned some interesting new facts about these important explorers of New York State, as well as how to be a 21st Century Internet Explorer!
